Reviews

  • Safari 4

    Apple is touting Safari 4 as the fastest browser on the web for both Windows and Mac. Depending on your computer's specs that may indeed be true. However, if you need more than speed, Safari may not be the best choice.

  • Flock 2.5

    Flock's differentiator is the way it integrates other services into the main browser frame — almost everything you'd want to do on the social web is already built in.

  • Chrome (beta)

    Google has rethought the Internet browser — some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel — but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.

  • Firefox 3

    If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.

  • Opera 9.5

    Long considered a cult favourite, Opera 9.5 for Windows and Mac has introduced some compelling improvements to security, speed and synchronisation — yes, syncing in a browser!— is there enough here to make you a convert?

  • Def Jam: Icon

    Def Jam: Icon plays well enough, but it really shines thanks to its crazy story mode and healthy roster.

  • Mozilla Firefox 2

    Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor and deserving our Editors' Choice award.

  • Internet Explorer 7

    IE 7 was Microsoft's one chance to leapfrog ahead of the competition, but the company has only barely caught sight of the current front-runners. For more features and greater security, switch to Mozilla Firefox.

  • Netvibes

    If you want to fill a personal home page with dozens of individualised newsfeeds and tools, Netvibes does a cleaner job than rival services from bigger brand names.

  • Firefox 2 RC1

    Firefox 2 RC1 isn't meant for public consumption, but this early look demonstrates some cool new features in the next release of Firefox.

  • Internet Explorer 7 RC1

    No new changes in this latest build of IE 7 from Microsoft, except for more stability and application compatibility, but this browser still is not ready for prime time.

  • Windows Live Toolbar

    Windows Live Toolbar can enhance the usefulness of Internet Explorer, make Web surfing more fun, and spare you some mouse clicks -- if you take the time to get acquainted with its features.

  • Mozilla Firefox 2 beta 1

    Mozilla releases a Firefox 2 beta intended for the general public. New are antiphishing controls and an automatic session restore feature, plus some enhancements to features seen in the previous alpha builds.

  • Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3

    Microsoft has changed the look and feel of its venerable browser while adding some much-needed security features.

  • Opera 9

    We really like Opera 9, but we like it more as the cool, arty browser that it is and not as our everyday workhorse for the Internet.

  • Bloglines

    Bloglines is a fun and free newsreader that runs inside most Web browsers and is sure to please all but the most discriminating news junkies.

  • Firefox 2 Alpha 2

    While changes within Firefox 2 Alpha 2 are bolder and better than those in Alpha 1, they are still best suited only for developers and the technically adventurous.

  • SiteAdvisor

    SiteAdvisor is an easy-to-use and intuitive browser plug-in that identifies Web sites that might offer spyware-infected downloads and might spam their registered users.

  • Firefox 2 Alpha 1

    Firefox 2 also has some new tricks up its sleeve.

  • Opera 9 Technology Preview 2

    Opera adds BitTorrent support along with Mac-style widgets to the next release of its browser, as well as adding some features already found in Firefox.
